If your portfolio is red right now, do not worry my friend. The markets drop 5%, two or more times every year since 2000. The scary feeling you have right now happens all the time. Just close the laptop, stay invested, and keep investing every paycheck and you'll be rich. Markets will go back to all-time highs.

Somewhere out there is a model distilled from a model distilled from a model… …whose deepest ancestor learned why hot dogs aren’t sandwiches from Reddit.

like if anything, the movie is way too heavy handed with its character’s motivations! he wants to see his kids to absolve him of his guilt over his dead wife! they bring you and Elliot Page down an elevator to literalize this exact motivation and its connection to his psyche!

I can’t imagine being Chris Nolan and putting 25 of the exact same shot of Cobb’s kids playing in the back yard and then still having people ask what the character’s motivation is
Malcolm Harris@BigMeanInternet

I've only seen a handful of Nolan movies but the most interesting thing to me is that they often seem surreally confused about their own narrative stakes. What is DiCaprio's motivation in Inception? Why does Oppenheimer kinda imply an era of atomic warfare that did not occur?

@UnderstanderArt Obviously this guy is an idiot for asking that. His motivation is his kids, but its amazing watching Cobb realize he has to forgive and stop blaming himself for his wife's death in the process of getting to his kids. Bravo Nolan.

@blargh_Blarg @TheTrapezius @TheCinesthetic I mean... yes. But at the same time, some films are more enjoyable on the big screen. Its a spectacle. For example, Avatar movies are phenomenal in IMAX 3D, its a fun show. Try watching it at home and its ehhh... Now it was still amazing in theaters.

TENET (2020) still doesn’t get the appreciation it deserves. Time has only made Christopher Nolan’s ambition feel even more impressive.

@mrsgrisey Wait til you watch it again and you see how much he is telling you from the start. The bird in cage trick, the days he loves his wife, etc... masterful story telling. One of Nolans best imo

@benshapiro Ben is the only one that can articulate this message. Good job brotha. All the low IQ people in the comments are still spewing "but its woke" while you are spreading positive messages of morality.

IMHO, a lot of conservatives are missing the Biblical forest for the woke trees in Nolan's Odyssey. Yes, the casting of Elliot Page is silly and egregious. But here's the thing: Nolan's "The Odyssey" is an apologia for Christian morality poured into a Greek vase. The entire movie is rooted in what Nolan terms "Zeus' law." That law is: "Treat others as you would want to be treated, because anyone might be a god." Now, clearly, there's nothing like that in Greek mythology. It's not implicit in Homer. It's a direct rip from Biblical morality, substituting "because anyone might be a god" for "because man was made in the image of God." Nolan then takes this rule and uses it as his moral glue: the idea is that Odysseus, in utilizing the Trojan Horse, violated Zeus' law and led to full-scale slaughter. That sin has led to the unleashing of broader globalized sin (the "sea peoples" who don't respect Zeus' law and are invading surrounding areas). This is a highly Biblical message: that sin is infectious, and that sin also affects the world at large, not just the sinner. Odysseus has sinned, and he must atone for that sin through self-imposed exile. He must also sacrifice his own aspirations to restore the possibility of a moral universe: because he has unleashed catastrophic violence and violation of Zeus' law -- manifest in the suitors' cynical use of Zeus' law to eat Penelope out of house and home -- he must violate Zeus' law one last time and then accept the penalty, which is exile. This is a not only a movie that will make millions of people go read classical literature again. It also reinforces the idea that violation of the Golden Rule has disastrous consequences. I dunno. I'd consider that, on balance, a large-scale win for civilizational values, when weighed against the woke casting of Elliot Page or the dumbass discussion over whether Lupita Nyongo is good-looking enough (she is, and for the record Diane Kruger is German, not Greek).

What was the Siren's song? All the things you want it to be. Then all the things you wish you never wished for It was the delicious itch you go to scratch... But find it's under the skin You can't reach it So the delicious itch becomes unbearable Told you what you most want... is what you most can't have. And what you most can't have... is what you already had. And lost.

The Odyssey memes, aura, gifs, entire social media reaction, is what movies are supposed to do. We weren’t built to binge and move on. We want to devour a movie. Argue about it. Rewatch it. I’m here for all of it.

The buzz for the Odyssey has gone away.. this is a few hours before the 10pm showing in the ONLY IMAX theater in my city (it’s a large city with a population near 1 million people).

@GoodFellah91 So much symbolism and meaning the more you watch the movie. The space station in the shape of a clock, 12 small pods spinning clockwise. Man vs nature (water planet), man vs Mann, and finally man vs time. All part of a story of man accomplishments of what seems to be impossible.

In “Apocalypto,” Mel Gibson transports you into the mind of a Mayan 500 years ago. In “The Northman,” Robert Eggers transports you into the mind of a Viking a thousand years ago. In “The Odyssey,” Christopher Nolan transports you into the mind of a liberal woman in 2017.
